  • Turkey’s 2026 YKS placement results became available on Aug. 18, but supplementary preference dates have not yet been announced.
  • ÖSYM will determine vacant places after university registrations and publish a supplementary preference guide.
  • Candidates will apply through the ÖSYM Candidate Transactions System or its mobile app using their identity numbers and passwords, and must pay the required fee on time.

Turkey’s university applicants are waiting for ÖSYM to set the timetable for 2026 YKS supplementary preferences after the main placement results were released on Aug. 18.

The additional preference round will cover places left vacant after university registrations. ÖSYM will first identify the remaining quotas and publish a YKS Supplementary Preference Guide. The application period will begin according to that guide.

The dates have not been finalized. Last year’s supplementary applications ran from Sept. 25 to 30, and this year’s process is expected to start in the final week of September after the guide is published.

Candidates will submit their choices through the ÖSYM Candidate Transactions System or the ÖSYM AİS mobile application. They will need their Turkish identity number and password, and the required fee must be paid within the stated deadline for the application to count.
